- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development Mission in Peru (USAID/Peru) is seeking proposals from qualified institutions to be the lead management and implementation contractor under a four-year cost plus award fee contract in support of the Alternative Development Program (ADP). The ADP is a major component of the U.S. and Peruvian Governments? counter-narcotics strategy to eliminate all illicit coca in Peru by 2007. The contractor will have lead responsibility for ensuring that coca leaf eradication performed by farmers (?auto-eradication?) meets annual targets, for leading a communications strategy geared to providing timely information about the ADP to multiple audiences and to creating a permanent change in behavior by former coca farm families, and for monitoring and reporting on overall development activities tied to auto-eradication. They will also have the lead responsibility for coordinating information from several sector-specific interventions (e.g., democracy, business investment, health, education, resources management) implemented by other organizations supporting the ADP with longer-term, sustainable development programs. Offeror?s proposals must show solid experience working with alternative development programs in Latin America under circumstances that can be confrontational and influenced by narcotics trafficking and political unrest. Of high importance is the ability to field senior personnel with experience in managing a complex, multi-sector, rural alternative development program subject to changing and unpredictable challenges. The contractor will have a short overlap period with the incumbent contractor, whose current 18-month contract terminates at the end of March 2004. The contractor will be expected to take over the responsibilities and commitments of the incumbent without a pause in operations and with an intense focus on achieving results.
